Well said, Penz... especially the part about people who are acting up always coming back to "the rock" when they eventually come to their senses, doesnt mean you have to take them back and just forget everything

But as long as you stay on a steady, even keel... you will be the one in control, not them

In the meantime, take some time for yourself whenever possible... go do some fishing[Reply]

Really sorry to hear this BT, I've never been through it so I don't know what advice is best other than that your child will always be more important than your wife. Right now you probably have a lot of standing in the custody situation due to her negligence, keep it that way by acting proper and you will get the most time with your child.
